Dose the unit allow for local "smart" weather alert programming.

not sure what you mean by smart weather alert. But you can set radio in Weather alert mode. Radio will remain in standby mode until there is a weather statement, watch or warning.

The instructions that come with the radio are inadequate in regard to that subject. The radio has 7 NOAA channels which one tunes to the strongest one; then the ALERT button is pressed to put the radio in the ALERT mode. I am making a presumption that will activate during severe weather alerts; not had any such alerts yet this year. I also have severe weather alerts that come from an area TV station and that should let me know if the ALERT function on the radio work accordingly.

It has a weather channel. You can tune into it, and put the radio on stand by. Once a warning or sever alert is played back, the radio will turn on and play back the message. The battery gets empty very quickly like this, so make sure you have an alternative source of energy (like put it next to the window where the solar panel can provide power, or plug in the ac adaptor).

The primary unit always alerts. The pager alerts as well, if it's on. Works pretty great!

yes the weather feature needs to be turned on to get alerts, seems to work well

it will not wake up on its own to alert you off anything. but it does have a local weather alert station that it Tunes itself to.

No it is weather on whenever you turn on.you can tune into different frequencies manually.

no... not that I am aware of... it is only temperature controlled... I would use the manual one during a storm

No, but in the event of a power outage, it stores the programming for later. (No need to re-program.)

Yes it does monitor the weather 24/7. I purchased this for when we are RVing in our camper since the weather is so unpredictable lately. Just read all the instructions because you can program how you want your alerts. We just have it plugged into our home currently. But will be using it in the spring when we can start to camp again.

the am/fm tuning is good but we really do not use it much for that purpose. We wish the weather alerts could be more specific to our local area.

Yes, the transmitter is weather protected with rubber gaskets. Each transmitter sends a unique code and individually learned at the main unit, so it is possible to assign to each of the location positions and thus sound unique to each.

Yes you can set it to only alert you for specific watches/warnings/alerts and which counties you want these for.
1015972
Yes. It warns about any weather issue in your area. You just have to have the radio set to the correct frequency and you have to have it on all the time. Fair warning...you'll hear every alert in your area...high winds to heavy rain to tornadoes. In my household we only turn on the device when we get a hurricane nearby. Otherwise it's off because there are too many alerts/alarms and they wake everyone up.

It works well and is very loud. I use weather alerts on my smart phone when traveling but if you don't have that capability they it's a good unit.

It works good for local severe weather warnings i bought as base for numerous hand held walkie talkie units for a couple of mile range. So...hmmm

You cannot. You set in the menu a specific NOAA frequency number (it doesn't list the frequencies, just assigns them a memory number) and if there's an alert, the radio will let you know.
